of the missions respectively from Paris
to Berlin, and from the German to the
French capital. NJ. Herbette's position
as the representative of France to the
power the greatnessof which was reared
upon the misfortunes OF his country,
cannot but be one requiring peculiar
adroitness and tact, especially at the
present time, when Germany is pur-
suing heroic course OF treatment to
cure disaffection in Alsace-Lorraine,
the provinces torn from the parent land
by the victorious hand of Germany
after theterrible ware OF 1870-'71. When,
only last year, NJ. Herbette was sent to
Berlin to replace nj. de Courcey, grave
doubts were expressed as to his fitness
for the mission. Thus far nothing has
appeared to his disadvantage as its in
cuInnent.
Jules Gabriel Herbette began his di-
plomatic career in 1860 as an GttachS
Of the Direction of Consulates. He has
since represented France at Naples,
Stettin, and Assumption. At the Euro
pean Commission of the Danube, in
1876, he was delegated secretary of the
First Class. He took part in the mis-
sion Of France at the Berlin Congress
in 1879, and was rewarded with the title
of officer of the Legion of Honor for
his services on this occasion. Nj. Her
bette has been Cabinet Minister three
times-each time under NJ. de Freyci-
net as Premier.

THE GRAND ARMY FAIk,
A Notable Meeting of the General Gem
mi1tee Held last Evening.

A Notable Meeting of the General Conn
misfee Held last Evening.
Nearly all of the one hundred members of
the general committee on the coming Grand
Army fair were present at the City Hall last
evening After the formal opening of the
meeting Mayor York took the stand and in
brief patriotic address pledged the hearty
cooperation of the citizens. The Mayor ex-
pressed his qualification at the general inter
est manifested by all classes, an interest
which must result in a great financial sue
cess. The Mayor was followed by General
Taintor of Hartford, department commander
of the g. A. R. General Taintor was present
upon invitation of the executive committee
and gave many valuable statistics and much
general information about similar G. A. r.
fair in Hartford last winter. He closed by
saying: Hartford is a hard city to beat,
but from the enthusiasm manifested here to-
night we shall not be surprised if you exceed
us by few thousand. And if you do this
assure you Hartford will be the first city in
Connecticut to congratulate you on your
success. Hartford and New Haven have never
had any very serious difficulties. The only
variance of opinion I can recall was IN the
matter of q State House, and that little
trouble will never occur again, for now l
understand you have State House of your
own"
Next followed the reports Of the various
chairmen OF committees: Judge Harrison of
the amusement committee ]. N. Coe of the
committee on invitation and reception; Col
onel S. J. Fox, house committee; F. q. Wal
dron, ticket committee; b. P. Hubbard,
booth committee; A. c. Hendrick, music
committee, and D. s. Thomas of the solicit
ing committee. Charles A. Baldwin made q
stirring address, in which he reminded the
citizens of New Haven of the promises made
twenty five years ago to care for the fami
lies of soldiers who left home and all that
was dear to them to embark in the hazard~
GUS calling of an active campaign. Com
rade R. P. Cowles, chairman of the Second
ward soliciting committee, gave gratifying
report of the success of the canvass in his
ward.
The meeting adjourned with much enthu-
siasm. Later. the executive committee met
in the lower hall and transacted considerable
important business. 1t was decided among
other matters to issue two complimentary
tickets to each contributor good for the open
ing night. General SRI Smith was appointed
superintendent Of the fair, his duties being
confined more particularly to the interior of
the building. All members of the several
ladies' committees who desire are to be pro-

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 2.-Abont
O'Clock this morning the fine four-story brick
block known as the Kirkham and Olmstead
block, corner of State and Willow streets,
was nearly destroyed by fire. In this block
were the elegantly furnished rooms of the
Winthrop club, which occupied nearly the
entire upper floor. After stubborn fight
the FIRE was brought under control. The
cause of the fire, which appeared to have
started on the club room floor, is not yet ap-
parent. The loss to the building and occu-
pants cannot now be accurately estimated
Il may reach $10O, 900. The interior finish
of the block was of superior order
throughout, the finish of the upper
story costing somewhere about sec, 900, SO
that the loss on the building viii reach
$50. O0O The Winthrop club will lose
about $15, 900. The damage to other occu-
pants is principally by smoke and water and
Is very heavy, particularly on the main floor.
The Collegiate Institute had drill hall on
the upper floor, next to the club rooms. In
the third story were apartments and
Offices. On the second floor were
the Collegiate Institute, Prof. Zuehl-
mann,s music rooms, real estate Offices
of j. D. s. W. e. Mcknight, DR.. Harvey, w.
c. King & Co., book publishers, and the
Metropolitan insurance offices. On the
main floor are Wilson G Patterson. stove
dealers, the State street butter store, Smiths

CUTTINGS DEMAND ON MEXICO.
The Country Set Against Raging the
Claim.


CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. at is believed
here in well-informed circles that the United
States government has transmitted to the
government of Mexico claim on behalf of
Cutting and there is much excitement over
the matter, coming at a time when series
of festivities in honor of American visitors
has just been concluded and when the senti-
ment of friendship was apparently never
stronger There is indignation on all sides
and the opinion is freely expressed that the
nation will not sustain the government in
paying such claim. Resident Americans
share in the belief that Cutting got off cheap
" after his bold defiance of the laws of the
State of chihuahua. The Macdonald urges
the press of the country to protest with one
voice against this claim and says the Mexican
government is resolved to decline the pay
ment of such an absurd demand.

INFANTILESKIN DISEASES

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old attacked with a v1ruient,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
falling, we called our family physician, who at
tempted to cure it; but it spread with almost In
credible rapdity until the lower portion Of the ut
tie fellow person, from the middle Of his back
down to his knees, was solid rash, ugly, pain
full blotehed AMI malicious We had no rest az
night. no peace by day Finally we were advised
to try the Cuticura Remedies. Tho effect was sim
ply marvellous. In three or four weeks complete
cure was wrought leaving the little fellow person
as white and healthy as though he had never been
at acked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life and to-day he is strong, healthy
child perfectly well, no repetition of the disease
having ever occurred.

ENCREAsED TAXATION

Must Follow n Repeal of the License
Law In New Haven-The Towns
Revenue From License-The Higher
License Fee For the Coming Year
The disappointed Dealers Who Will
be Left Out In tine Gold.
A prominent New Haven gentleman
writes as follows: At next Tuesdays cleo
ton the liquor license question comes up
again before the people. Do the public real
ize that repeal of license in New Haven
means an increase of town taxes of 215 per
cent? That is what it means. Look at the
figures. The figures show it. The towns
expected revenue from licenses the coming
ment just published at 100000. But the
amount will probably be larger as the license
fee is raised to $500, whereas it was 5000 the
past year. Now Of course at $500 there will
be less licenses Issued than hitherto at 5000,
but no doubt instead of 425 licenses the
past year there will be $50 taken out under
the new figures. That will be $105, 900 for
revenue. Five per cent. of this goes to the
county for current expenses. The rest goes
to the town. If there is no license the $780,
600 or 800, 900 that could have come from
Licenses will have to be made up by taxing
our taxpayers more neRV1iy. Ii license Qon Z
pay it the taxpayers must. This is the whole
thing in nutshell. The city tax the coma
ing year is fixed at II Is mills, the school tax
at mills and the town tax to be laid is 81
mills. If license is defeated the town tax
will have to be ~ mills, Now the disaf-
fected liquor dealer who won't be able to pay
the higher license fee, and the liquor dealers
who have had their licenses taken away for
violating the Sunday law, or for other
offenses, threaten to combine with the prohi-
bitionists and defeat license, and it is ex
pected that toereby the vote against license
in New Haven Will be heavier than usual.
But with license the temperance cause is bet
ter served than with no license. There is no
place where Sundays are quietsr than in New
Haven-where the Sunday law is more thor
oughly observed. Six days work is enough
for any man to earn his living in. Worcester
had no license one year and got into debt by
it, and returned gladly to the license system.
With all the hue and cry about it prohibition
in Rhode Island does not prohibit and is a
failure, and the city of Providence has voted
in favor of license, being utterly tired of no
license after two years trial They find the
cause of temperance best served by license.

waEELER BOUND OVER,

Judge Fdenny's Decision I'm the PO-

of Edward S. Wheeler what the
Letters of wheeler show.
HARTFORD, Dec. 2.-In the Police court to-
day Judge Henry gave his decision in the
case of Edward Wheeler, the New Haven
merchant accused of obtaining money under
false pretenses. It binds over the defendant
for trial in the Superior court in the sum of
SIS, 600.
After announcing the law under which
the case was brought, Judge Kenny said the
false pretenses consisted in these points.
That on the 23d day Of August, 1887, the defend
ant procured the discounting of note at the Pho
nix National bank for the of S2,914. IS, dated
August 6, 1877, and payable three months from its
date, endorsed by E. s. Wheeler & Co., by false
pretending.
/. That the note in question was given the de-
PENDANT for merchandise sold by him to the maker,
the J. L. Wicks company, and thus was legitimate
business paper.
?. That the J. L. Wicks company, as the result of
the reorganization of the copsrtnershlp of j. l..
Wicks Company, was a corporation duly organ
lied under the laws of the State of Maryland with
capital paid in OF $4,000, and that new capital
had been paid in.
3. That both the maker and the dorser of the
note were good, that is, solvent.
He reviewed the case in all its phases.
Mr.. Pierce N. Welch of New Haven;
brother in-law of Wheeler, furnished the re-
quired bonds. The next criminal term of the
Superior court comes in next Tuesday but
there are SO many important cases to be
tried, including two or three murder trials,
that it is not likely the Wheeler case will
come up during the term.
